Hi community,

I remember when I was in middle school, we used to play cards almost every day, and our stupidity reached the point where we would skip classes while we were inside school. The method of playing was easy, as the largest number was the winning card. So, some of my friends and I would gather in the middle school bathroom and make bets with the money that we had collected  from selling cigarettes.
Of course, this is not something I am proud of and I do not recommend it to everyone, but it's just childhood memories .

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?
That is very normal in a student from mostly 3rd world country ,where student are
Finding ways to double their money because of them lacking in allowances as
I can relate in this one, we even experimenting games just to satisfy our gambling
Habits and yeah , sometimes skipping classes , spending all our allowances and
Not listening to our parents and teachers.

In my opinion, using family funds for gambling is an excessive action, because if it's like that then the perpetrators will be even more emboldened to use other funds that they shouldn't use for gambling which will only result in them continuing to run out of money, because what you say is true. Actions like this are very irresponsible, because they involve other people with their addiction problems. They dare to take this action because the gambling they are doing is not going well, but it is also because they themselves are the ones who reacted wrongly to gambling.

Gamblers who do crazy things, such as using family funds to gamble or taking out loans to gamble, usually do this when they have run out of money. but when they do crazy actions like this just for gambling then obviously they will only get worse problems, and also that is a step towards the destruction of life, I myself do gambling but I don't want to experience that. therefore I don't want to lose self-control when gambling. Play gambling appropriately, don't let gambling play on us.
If using their savings and money that belongs to them to gamble is already an irresponsible move, using the money that belongs to their family is an even more irresponsible action that shows that such a person has lost complete control over themselves and their gambling, and nothing more but an intervention by their family and therapy by professional has any chance to help those people, as it is clear that if they continue on that path, they will find it incredibly difficult to overcome their addiction on their own.

When they dare to use their family's money, I think they are already seriously addicted, where they dare to take actions that take big risks which could even harm other people, such as their family or friends. with those who dare to carry out such actions, it seems like they have completely lost self-control, where they think that gambling can indeed give them a win, even though the gambling they do ends in defeat, but they think that the next time they gamble they can just keep winning like this. That.

If they are like that then it could get worse if they just keep quiet, I also have a brother who likes to gamble, but up to now everything is still fine, but if one day I hear he is doing something crazy, of course I will intervene and help him. prevent doing anything even crazier, such as using his family's money or even selling the property he owns to gamble.

Honestly so far and as far as I can remember, I have never done anything crazy just to get involved in gambling, I understand that such decisions can be made by gamblers but I think most gamblers who have a proper understanding of gambling they will not want to do something too reckless like that, because they understand that there are possible risks that will continue to lurk them wherever and whenever they gamble so risk management is a top priority such as applying many restrictions to prevent or minimize something too significant like losing.

On the other hand I am with some gamblers who even dare to take risks that are really far from their abilities that they even go to the extent of using all means just to gamble when they don't have money such as borrowing, stealing, robbing or cheating and usually they are gamblers who from the start only focus and think about the chances of winning so that when they succeed in winning one of the wins then usually they will put very high hopes and confidence in winning and obviously these are gamblers who will eventually lead to the addiction phase.

That is the last red line I think for a gambler when they use such a behavior.After that there is nothing except true madness and some even have faced jail for their illegal behavior as that is the only thing remaining to be done by such individuals.I think that as soon as someone borrows money to gamble,use money that is not of his own they should directly realize that they need to seek professional help in order to save themselves from even more trouble which is guaranteed to come if they continue with their reckless behavior,the more they go down deep in this behavior the more the chances to ruin their life and the life of those near them.Unfortunately many people are afraid to ask professional help even when they realize it they have got big problems because of what society will think of them and this is a section we all need to improve it.

Well, when it comes to having funds for the family, it is something that for me is very untouchable, and one should not even imagine having those funds to play in a casino, it is totally irresponsible, it is clear that people Those who are almost there and pass this limit because things don't work out well because basically things tend to be very persuasive and when they spend that money, then they get into worse problems, because a family has to be responded to, then the A person who has to choose to look for someone who can pay him off with a loan or something so that he can resolve his economic emergency, but again, a person who does that is totally irresponsible, and yes, it falls within the parameters of madness.

I've definitely had my share of "oops" moments. Like this one time, I placed a bet on a basketball game, not realizing the team's leading scorer was out due to injury. I was so sure of my bet until the game started and the announcers mentioned the injury. It was a forehead-slap moment, but it taught me to always check the latest team news before placing a bet  Grin
Those are the kind of things that can happen to anyone, I remember that something similar happened to me once when playing poker, I took a look at my cards and I had an Ace and a King, and in the community cards there were two Aces and a King, so I had a full house and I was pretty use I had my competitor beat, however when it came the time to the showdown I realized to my dismay that I had an Ace and a Jack, needless to say I lost the hand and some money by that mistake.

I call this a blind bet, and many times I have made Bets this way and I have won, I have also lost but I have no idea which players were Injured , sometimes as a player we can miss those details and for that reason it is Because we must have many good things to do Better , when it comes to betting it is better to calculate everything because what we risk is always money and money is what we are looking for, so for this type of thing it is not betting just for fun , we must bet To look for money we should not do it just to be fashionable or because everyone bets, I have Friends who bet Because others bet and I don't see that well, they do it so as not to get hurt or anything, sometimes they bet Without knowing, for that reason It's that things are always done to make decisions by helping each other by groups, op by Internet..

Not just in gambling, whenever we want to do something that requires risking our emotions and finances, looking at the family and kids who also would need the funds is a strong factor. It's like an energetic hold back to the person, to stay strong for his family and loved ones. When gambling recklessly it affects not just the gambler, but many other people who look up to him. Being thoughtful as a gambler helps in building strong self-control so as not to fall off into a negative part of gambling. Doing something crazy for the sake of gambling has never been my thing, but don't know what it could be in the future.

Timing does matter. If you look at the example I gave, you will see how it matters. If you gamble immediately after a loss, thinking that the ticket is independent of the other then you may end in a big loss because even if the ticket is independent, it’s still the same person, and that person will carry the emotions to bet the new ticket.
In everything a person those, your emotions towards that particular thing matters alot and includes trading and even gambling ( esp. gambling). You emotions affects how make decisions concerning your bet. This is why it is advisable that people learn how to manage their emotions before walking into the casino to gamble in order to avoid unnecessary losses.

Yes in any case emotions have a very big influence that can affect a decision making, and especially if you apply emotions to gambling involvement which as we know that the main requirement to engage in gambling is that you must have money which means that when you experience emotions due to defeat for example then it is very possible for you to make decisions that are beyond your abilities such as betting with larger amounts based on desperation and emotions which in the end it is clear that usually actions like this will only lead someone to a much worse situation, such as losing a larger amount of money.

That's right, as you said that this is the reason why all gamblers are advised to have good control and self-control, none other than it will be useful to reduce emotions especially when you lose, minimizing emotions is not to prevent you from losing but rather useful to prevent the amount of defeat that is too significant due to careless decision making.

I don’t think I have ever bet at the wrong place. It depends on your definition of a wrong place because to me betting doesn’t need any specific kind of environment. But I have bet at a wrong time before. By wrong time I mean when your emotions aren’t in complete control and you know it, but you still pressure/push yourself to play the game. There’s no time that is more wrong than such a time because the likely outcome is a loss.

I can think of a few places could be considered a wrong place, for example it can be a fraudulent casino, or a real world casino where you get mugged, etc.

About timing though, yeah, it's just a personal thing because in terms of math every bet is independent of the previous ones so timing doesn't matter.

Yes, when growing up, I usually see a lot of older people gambling with Card and setting money to make everyone put in their best and seriousness, one of the things that I do notice is that some people with a particular amount of cash, and they will start setting the money, putting the money in money, putting in money down to zero and finally at the end, they go home with nothing ending up, losing all the money they came with that is wanting about doing things and gambling which I don’t really like it is always good to have a particular amount that you need to gamble with not just running yourself dry just because you want to gamble.


That is the only thing that many must Learn to bet without going crazy, for me it makes no sense to bet just to bet, just to look good to others, no, things are not like that Because for one to have things done it is by working honestly and hard, that's why resting from work is something that doesn't cost anyone because the effort of the other Doesn't matter, one as a player cannot fall into those temptations, we can like the game a lot, but there are things that are above the game, our things, our family, everything that makes us have a life, that is what we must see before making any bet, we are very thoughtful people, we cannot take the step just because or because we let ourselves be arried away by emotions, no. We are minors, our actions have consequences.

Doing something crazy for the sake of gambling has never been my thing, but don't know what it could be in the future.

The game is quite confusing, and people or players tend to change according to the environment around them. While I still look out for the best in the future, presently, gambling responsibly is a good thing. And shouldn't be left behind for any form of pleasure that other players claim is found in compulsive gambling. However, our self and what we want for ourselves shouldn't be neglected. And nobody wants for himself a broken relationship with his friends and family due to compulsive gambling. So, no need to impress other compulsive gamblers around us who want us to gamble in the form of chasing losses.

The same type of experience happened to me in soccer. I placed a bet on a corner but I didn't notice before my bet that my team had a red card. As a result, I lost a good amount of money for the misconduct.

Or could be the same team, that's what happened to me today, I bet on this particular team and they seemed to be losing. I have no hope to win but when I checked again on the live betting odds, I find it very attractive, so I made another bet on the same team and turns out they loss. I have experience this many times, I ain't gonna learn, LOL.. Although I know that based on my experience, I experience more losses when I let my emotion dictate me but there are really times that I feel chasing my losses is necessary.

That’s what I mean when I talk about wrong timing. If you gave yourself some time between the loss and the second bet, you could have probably made a better decision. What you did was triggered by your emotion. Don’t chase your losses, at least not for long. If you try and it’s not coming through, don’t keep trying or you could regret that you didn’t let it go from the beginning.

Cigars and betting in school that's crazy as *uk. Cheesy

I don't remember doing anything like that to be honest, kind of disciplined kid in the school days and then as well, I only used to bet on fantasy that's kind of crooked game still I went to bet because the amount is too good to be true if I actual tops the table and that's happened a couple of times that I consider still a crazy decision.
I have actually done something for bet And i Dont Really want To go through that experience again , while still in School At My year Two precisely, i Was a Fan of lionel messi And still his loyal Fan till now .That very day i staked a bet with some part of My School fees that lionel messi will Score in the first half of the match , i Was very uncomfortable though i trusted messi And believing that he will score in the first half of the game .

The game Was moving on well And messi as usual Was contributing in all the passes , But no goal Was coming , they played till 45+4 minutes but messi did not score any goal , I was totally devastated and disappointed. The most shocking part of the story is that payment of school fees will end the next day and anyone who fails to pay will have extra year , I was very restless and losing weight till one of my friend completed the school fees for me and warned me not to engage in gambling ever again in my life . And that has been the crazy thing that I have ever done for bet.

That is bad, but what I personally think is way worse is what happens next.

Instead of going home, some gamblers would go to the ATM and grab some fresh cash to try to win their losses back.

Big mistake as the most probable outcome is to lose that fresh cash as well.

If we try to do anything crazy about bet we are playing when gambling, we are likely to see the other way round as well being the outcome on what we have done, it can happens that we be in a situation of taking drastic steps on how we want to go about with gambling and this may only be something we are doing out of our own ignorance not minding the consequences to that, but as we may it, things may go as expected that we achieved a better result even at the crazy things we do.
Indeed, sometimes in gambling, it is believed that the higher the risk you a gambler takes, the higher the reward. But this theory isn't certain as one can never be certain or too sure about gambling. In fact, this can actually work quite in the opposite direction and lead a gambler into the unending cycle of making irrational decisions while gambling, with hopes of winning big and then forget about the potential consequences that it can lead you to. Indeed, this behaviour is mostly based on emotion rather than logic.
Although gambling involves risk, there is no guarantee that a gambler will be able to win at gambling by risking each bet. Taking more risks increases the chance of losing as well as the potential for greater rewards if you win. But what the gambler has to do is to bet within a limit and control the gambler's greed. Greed forces every gambler to take extra risks which greatly increases his chances of losing. There were times when I used to gamble recklessly. I used to manage gambling by ignoring some basic things that depleted my bankroll. But ever since I started paying more attention to betting, I felt a little better about losing. Gambling is always hard to win but even if you lose there are few regrets. Above all it is important to focus on how to enjoy the bet without going too crazy with it.
Yes I  can actually agree with you that greed can make a gambler lose his sense of reasoning or making rational and calculated decisions, and when a gambler start gambling without think straight or without applying logic, he starts taking risks that he can't ordinarily take on a normal day and this is mostly as a result of people having this misconception about gambling beimg a way out of a problem, mostly financial problems, or maybe the gambler just wishes to multiply whatever amount he has in his account, maybe to cover more expenses.
